Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our intended outcomes are based on post-concert/workshop surveys to stakeholders (attendees and participants) that will show 45% of people participating in and experiencing the events felt empowered to take action in their local community in a way meaningful to them, and when participant and audience surveys show 90% of people felt the content was affirming and empowering for the voices of women. Attendance and Engagement outcomes will be achieved if 50 people attend our workshop and 600 people attend the concert. We will use post-concert/workshop surveys for attendees and participants to obtain the qualitative outcomes, and we will use ticket sale reports for both events to quantify the attendee goals.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 441 people attend the concert and 37 people attend the workshop. Audience surveys showed that 50% of respondents experienced TCWC for the first time. 95% of audience, and 100% of participant, respondents said the content of the concert/workshop affirmed the voices of women. Workshop audience responses indicated 100% felt it showcased ways individuals use their voice for social change.
